Could this be the most unvarnished insult to someone's intelligence in the recent annals of major network television? Here was Zbigniew Brzezinski, speaking to Joe Scarborough on today's "Morning Joe." [H/t reader Melody.]
"You know, you have such a stunningly superficial knowledge of what went on that it's almost embarrassing to listen to you."
It was Scarborough's exposition of the widely accepted view—shared by Bill Clinton himself—that Yasser Arafat was to blame for the failure of the 2000 Camp David summit, that prompted Brzezinski's remarkable display of disdain.

No Carter official can speak with any credibility on foreign policy. Especially Z PIG.
Heh heh, heh heh...fire...FIRE!
I'm with you on this one, bro. Too bad our political leaders don't get it.
You are soooo right and we are sooooo screwed.
“an image of beavis and butthead appeared in my mind.”
That’s it! I was tryin’ to figure out who he looked like! Someone should change the crawler line to: “I am Cornholio!”
I am the Great Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!
LOL! I am not a B&B fan but I know enough to remember that.
Imperious elitism just drips from this #$%^!& traitorous bastard.
Eh, I’ve never watched Joe. He never impressed me on C-Span and he doesn’t now.
Oh man, that show was raging on MTV right during my formative teenage years. Screwed me all up. LOL
Let's review, shall we?
After the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi is deposed in Iran and Ayatollah Khomeini takes over as Iran’s new leader in February 1979, the US is interested in continuing to work with the Iranian government.
At first the US is taken aback by the new fundamentalist Islamic government, and National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski contemplates fomenting a military coup to stop Khomeini. But Khomeini is fiercely anti-communist, and Brzezinski soon decides that Iran’s new government can become part of an effective anti-Soviet alliance he calls the “arc of crisis’ (see November 1978-February 1979).
The US embassy in Teheran, Iran, remains open, and more US officials come to Iran and begin tentative talks there. [Dreyfuss, 2005, pp. 236-243] The CIA in particular begins secretly collaborating with Iranian intelligence, providing information about the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
The CIA and Iran both covertly work to destabilize the pro-Soviet government in Afghanistan. [Dreyfuss, 2005, pp. 264-265]
In early November 1979, Brzezinski secretly meets with Iranian Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan, as well as Iran’s foreign minister and defense minister, in Algiers, Algeria. But shortly before the meeting, the US agrees to allow the Shah, dying with cancer, to come to the US for medical treatment.
Khomeini is enraged, and on November 4, just three days after the Algeria meeting begins, Khomeini arranges for students to take over the US embassy in Teheran and seize hostages.
This realigns political forces in Iran and allows Khomeini to sideline Bazargan and other others meeting in Algeria, rendering the negotiations there moot.
Brzezinski’s attempts to create a de facto alliance with Iran collapse. The US hostages will be held for over a year before finally being freed.
That’s one of his commie weapons.
And yet they refer to themselves as the "wise men".
I refer to them as "the bland face of evil"...
Is he Anderson Coopers dad?
